Nothing you can do will help you. Just be prepared to work when school starts.

If anything, familiarize yourself with Anki

First aid, pathoma, u world and Anki.

If anything, familiarize yourself with Anki

This x100. Best thing you can do is learn the ins and outs of Anki. Make a few practice decks, watch some tutorial videos, play around with the settings, and learn how to properly use it. Anki has been by far the most useful learning tool in med school for me, however, it does have a learning curve and the software is not exactly super user friendly.

DON'T STUDY ANYTHING. You'll be wasting your time. just enjoy yourself before the hard work begins.

study boards from day 1

Controversial opinion: I’m rubbish with genetics and I wish I would have just gone over all of Khan or similar on that topic.

Important to have a real break, though.

Learn how to use anki, cook, and manage finances. Dont open a single book.

You can have BOARDS READY, USMLE Step1, Step2, Step3 book. This book covers all the topics of Step 1, 2 and 3. It will be your perfect replacement of multiple books. It provides you the whole overview of USMLE tests.

Boards and beyond is cash. As you do topics in school, watch their videos and do the corresponding online questions. Fill in first aid as you go through as well (do alongside B&B).
